The Warriors Experience and Pauli Pauli WOW

Posted by Premier2018 on May 18, 2015 at 9:02am

Despite the loss, what a great experience it was to be there on match day.

I thought it was a fair and honest game of footy as you often get when you play the warriors.

Not like the Storm who just ply their wrestling moves all match and go unnoticed by the ref.

I thought Luke Kelly was solid and did what we needed in the halves. It's a shame about his goal kicking as BA commented on Robinsons quad strain that prevented him from kicking.

Surely someone can kick in our side. The way Kelly stabs at the ball does not give me much hope of improvement.

Just wanted to highlight Pauli Pauli's performance. He is exactly what our team needs, somebody who can break a tackle.

With Junior Paulo a possible return next week I look forward to what our forward pack will produce next week against the rabbits.

With Kelly putting in percentage kicks and playing a stuctured game I like our chances against the Rabbits.

Apparently RR offered to kick the last conversion, but Kelly said I got this.
Anyone confirm this?

  Partially Correct. RR went to take the kick but the trainer pulled him and said Kelly

Watch the Warriors try in golden point. PaulI Pauli thought it was a great time to have a nap, and stood on his line beside the winger and dead set fell asleep.

The Warriors player strolled through the gap untouched.

While Pauli deserves to be on the bench through his attack, he has a long way to go becoming a regular NRL player.

  Wow you really are nit picking here. He had a bit of a lapse at the back end of the game. There is no way you can put that last try on Pauli though. There were a number of guys that were lazy in defence there. The kid is only 20. Give him a break. How is he going to get better by playing reserve grade every week? He needs to play first grade to give him experience. That's the only way he will learn.

  Nit picking!
  Mate if Bellamy was the coach, Pauli would be in reserve grade for 10 weeks after that incident.

  And I'm not talking about one incident, Pauli is generally lazy in defence.
  That's my biggest concern.
  
  But in saying that, he has great potential and should be re-signd.

  Wow, I must be watching another game. We probably won't see someone Pauli's size and mobility for probably another 25 plus years. He is a very rare commodity in the game and he needs to be in the top 17 each and every week. He has also shown that he can play 80 minutes in the NRL which makes him even rarer.

That's correct chief. Pauli had some good runs but his defence is below par. Don't understand how you can be on your heels in golden point like that. It was lazy. BA will be smashing him for that play this week.

Btw, I just want to give a shoutout to warriors fans. I don't think there are a better bunch of fans to watch a game of footy with then the warriors faithful. Very fun and enthusiastic, love giving it the opposition crowd and can handle when the opposition give them a bit of slack, all in good spirit. That's what it's all about. There is nothing worse then going to a game and the opposititions supporters carry on, start fights, get offended when people say things etc. warriors fans are great!

Agree fully with Chief on this point.....
